I was excited...

But once I lose the lines everything falls apart. That's just showing there's holes in my understanding of everything. Just look! I was using a tumblr for some architecture. My sketches were dynamite and legible. But... I threw some paint onto it and want to throw up. Ha! Maybe  just have no experience with watercolor!? Yeah, I think that's what it is. Whatevah. Maybe I'll avoid the watercolor for a while. I'm redownloading Maya, maybe with the new digital painting skills I have I could throw a texture over a mesh and create something reeeel simple n cool.

Some stuff I drew today. I'm proud of the guy in the lower left corner of this next one. He has potential.

Progress on my "Retro" themed image. That monster is presshussh. Yesterday's image here.

Another Day, Another

Theme for this week's homework assignment is "Retro," thought since Godzilla just came out I'd do a vintage Kaiju-esque movie poster. Except have the monster be really stupid or cute.

Thought I'd add some color...

BONUS: Watercolor from Last Week

I'm working on an assignment for my digital painting class right now and it's going really badly, so I'm taking a break. I can't get my brain to make a transition and do what it needs to do. Also, Corel Painter has crashed 4 times, which is adding to my displeasure. I don't know why I can't paint this! I mean, here and 

here I threw down some color with no issue, why can't I remember what I did? I feel like I've lost intelligence since then or something. 

What's up?

Sometimes I wonder how frequently I give blog posts the same title. Ha!

Update on Frog Prince (first mentioned here):

Haha. So yeah, it's turning out exactly the opposite of what I was originally thinking. He's a nice Buddhist frog princeling.

Bus. That guy in the middle was talking so loud I could hear him through my headphones, which basically meant he was screaming at the top of his lungs.

Some dumb zombie stuff. But that guy's feet are so whimsical and ridiculous. Put some shoes on, you'll step on a rusty nail and get lockjaw

Went at it with the brush pen:

BACK FROM SPRING BREAK: Tears Fall in Flows Torrential

Okay, party time is over, back to work! Sorry for the lack of posting this last week, I even had art stuff with me but I totally fell apart. I read a lot and played video games and spent time with friends and loved ones but now I'm back, and you can follow me on Twitter using @ZacharyHeckert.

I've been trying to work on the underdrawing. You all know this.

Here I was trying to puzzle out how to get that always-horrible view from beneath the head. Mixed results ensued, naturally.

Then I tried using my new brush pen. Mixed results ensued.
